Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

After everyone left with the bailiffs and entered the first courtroom.

Lin Yue and the others, who had been following Xu De, paused slightly upon seeing the large crowd in the courtroom and whispered:

"Why are there so many people?"

Is it too much?

Xu De looked up and saw, at a glance, at least a hundred people staring at him and the others in the trial area.

Judging from the density of the crowds... it's clear that the number of people exceeds the number of seats.

"Please take a seat."

Zhao Qian spoke in a low voice, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

Zhao Qian understood why there were so many people.

Unfortunately, this case... seems rather unpredictable to the residents.

Initially, the case involved the brutal murder of Zhang Mushan, who was reportedly killed in a fit of rage after being refused a loan.

This caused a stir among the citizens of Yanzhou. Everyone wanted Zhu Dali dead, but no one expected that halfway through the case... Zhu Dali recanted his confession.

Yes, the case has changed from borrowing money to committing murder to taking the blame for someone else's death!

This immediately threw the people of Yanzhou into chaos, and public opinion began to spread to surrounding cities.

I thought that Zhu Dali had indeed come to confess to his crime and that we had finally found the real culprit.

As a result, on July 1st, Zhu Dali was given a suspended death sentence!

A suspended death sentence is fine, the other party can lie, as long as the truth comes out, that's all that matters. But alas...

Almost immediately after the verdict was announced, the court announced that the real culprit had been caught!

just now.

The residents of Yanzhou felt like fools, wanting to say something but unable to, and could only stand there bewildered in the wind.

Moreover, after this back and forth, even people who didn't care about the case now wished they could be there in person; almost everyone in Haiyun Province was like that.

"What a tragedy," Zhao Qian muttered to himself.

The prosecutor's seat fell silent.

During this time, Yan Mi and others from the defendant's dock also appeared in the defendant's seat. There were only two lawyers, namely Yan Mi and Zhou Ning.

The two men were expressionless. After entering, they only glanced at Xu De before looking away.

"We need to be careful."

Lin Yue became alert and whispered to Xu De.

Xu De paused for a moment, then nodded.

The opponent... is no pushover; he is extremely capable. Zhu Dali's suicide move alone was very troublesome. It was only because the opponent's will to survive was aroused that... otherwise, this move could very well have ruined their month-long plan!

Now that the trial has begun, it's inevitable that Yan Mi may still have some tricks up her sleeve.

The two sides were scheming against each other, but on the surface, they remained unusually quiet and didn't say a word.

a long time......

"Everyone stand up!"

On the judge's bench, the court clerk suddenly leaned close to the microphone and said something.

The sound was so loud that everyone present instinctively stood up. As they stood up, three figures suddenly appeared in front of the trial area entrance.

The other person was dressed in a long robe, with a straight posture and an expressionless face that exuded an imposing aura. His eyes were devoid of emotion, yet when they fell upon someone, they made that person feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

This is......

"Zhao De, the president of the Yanzhou Intermediate People's Court, is fifty-seven years old this year, a veteran among veterans."

Li Jian watched the other person walk towards the judge's bench and spoke the message in a low voice.

"The two people behind him are also veterans of the court."

Xu De nodded, watching the other party sitting on the judge's bench.

It's clear that the Yanzhou Intermediate People's Court is also quite frustrated by this case, and even the president of the court has personally attended the trial.

"It's probably going to be very strict."

Xu De thought to himself.

His thoughts, however, did not affect the people on the stage.

At this moment, Zhao De, the presiding judge in this case, leaned down and sat on the high seat of the judge's bench, nodded slightly, glanced at the nearly one thousand people in the First Courtroom, and gently picked up the gavel with his right hand.

"Bang!"

The crisp sound of the gavel striking the ground rang in everyone's ears.

"sit."

Judge Zhao De spoke slowly, and everyone subconsciously took their seats. At the very moment they sat down, Zhao De's next words rang out.

"Are all parties ready in this case?"

The three parties responded in unison.

Presiding Judge Zhao De nodded slightly, then spoke without hesitation:

"This case was prosecuted by the Yanzhou Municipal People's Procuratorate, and the defendants are: Sun Hu, Wang Zhou, Zhao Ershan, and Zhu Dali."

"The case was brought to this court in July 2003."

"The prosecution alleges that the four defendants are guilty of the following crimes under the Criminal Law: Article 305 'Perjury', Article 310 'Harboring or Concealing a Criminal', Article 232 'Intentional Homicide', and Article 234 'Intentional Injury'..."

"Article 271 of the Criminal Law, 'Embezzlement'; Article 272 of the Criminal Law, 'Misappropriation of Funds'; Article 137 of the Criminal Law, 'Major Safety Accident in Engineering Projects'... "

As soon as he opened his mouth.

It was a series of charges; a rough count revealed at least eight or nine charges.

The audience gasped in shock.

Even Yan Mi, the lawyer in the defendant's seat, gradually became serious.

The charges... are just too many!

With multiple crimes combined, even without murder, the outcome would likely be quite outrageous, let alone with three lives lost!

On the judge's bench.

Judge Zhao De, however, did not notice the expressions of the people below the stage, and continued to speak with a blank expression.

"In accordance with relevant regulations, the case will be heard by the First Criminal Trial Division of the Yanzhou Intermediate People's Court."

"This case will be presided over by Judge Zhao De..."

"Now, I declare."

Speaking of which...

Zhao De paused, looked up at the scene below, and then forcefully brought down the gavel he had been holding.

"Bang!"

"The trial has begun!"

"Bailiffs, bring the defendant to court!"

The court is in session...the court has begun!

Huh? He's not one to dawdle, he gets straight to the point without any hesitation!

Everyone's spirits lifted, and before they could react, a crack appeared in the main entrance.

Upon closer inspection, several figures appeared.

It was the bailiffs who were pinning down the defendant, and the defendant himself!

Xu De looked over and immediately saw two familiar faces: Sun Hu and Zhu Dali, whose head was wrapped in gauze.

At this moment, the two men were handcuffed; one was timid and hesitant, while the other had a gloomy expression.

As if noticing the gaze, the handcuffed Sun Hu looked up and met Xu De's gaze. The two exchanged a glance.

"Those two are the foremen who killed the supervisor... Hmm, if nothing unexpected happens, they'll be involved when Zhang Mushan is killed too."

Lin Yue leaned close to Xu De's ear and pointed to the other two trembling middle-aged men.

Xu De then turned his gaze to the other two.

The victim, Wang Han, had filmed the entire process of the murder of the supervisor. In one of the photos that Xu De found, in addition to Sun Hu, there were two other people from the construction site.

Although her face was obscured by the camera, she was standing with her back to it.

But that doesn't mean the police can't find out who it is!

"They're all damned," Wang Chao muttered, then remained silent.

Inside the trial area.

The four defendants sat down, all of them firmly handcuffed.

Upon seeing this, the court clerk quickly looked towards the judge's bench and said, "Your Honor, the defendant has arrived in court."

Presiding Judge Zhao De nodded, then looked at the prosecution table and began:

"Prosecutor, please read the indictment."

Upon hearing this...

Prosecutor Zhao Qian took a deep breath, slowly stood up, looked down at the documents in his hand, and said:

"Your Honor, Judges."

"Regarding this case."

"The mastermind behind the case is the defendant Sun Hu, male, 47 years old, born in Yanzhou City..."

"On July 1, 2003, he was arrested and criminally detained by the police in accordance with the law. The court has found that the two cases accumulated over the years were both committed by the defendant Sun Huwei."

In 2000, Hongyang Civil Engineering Construction Co., Ltd. contracted municipal engineering projects in Lingshui County, and was responsible for constructing major main roads in Lingshui County...

"According to the investigation."

"The defendant, Sun Hu, was involved in a series of illegal and criminal acts in this project, including embezzlement of public funds and misappropriation of project funds, which clearly violated Article 271 of the Criminal Law, the crime of 'embezzlement'..."

"This incident was known to Huang Chengwei, the victim in the case, who was also the project supervisor."

"A fierce conflict broke out between the two parties. In order to cover up the matter, the defendant Sun Hu, together with his accomplices Wang Zhou and Zhao Ershan, attacked the supervisor. After killing him, they filled the body with cement and threw it into the lake to cover it up."

"The entire incident was filmed by a passing reporter, Wang Han, and the three defendants became aware of it..."

This is the entire process of their killing.

The audience grew increasingly alarmed, their faces showing astonishment.

Putting aside everything else.

Just those two victims described in the description alone—they would have been ruthless in killing them!

In other words...it's not like the first time.

If that's the case, then before this... just how many people had the other side killed?

Prosecutor Zhao Qian continued:

"At this point, the victims Huang Chengwei and Wang Han were killed."

"In addition, on May 7, 2003, because the victim 'Zhang Mushan' frequently demanded wages from the defendant Sun Hu, the other party became dissatisfied and cruelly attacked him on the afternoon of the 7th."

"Later, they found the defendant Zhu Dali, who was suffering from pancreatic cancer and wanted to make a quick buck before he died. So, they bribed Zhu Dali to take the fall for the case."

This is the whole truth of the case, the complete story.

Now, forget about the audience.

Even several judicial professionals, including court clerks, couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines and subconsciously glance at Sun Hu.

The other party... is simply a bloodthirsty killer!

Perhaps it's because he's never experienced the consequences of killing that he developed this habit of killing at the drop of a hat. Otherwise, any normal person wouldn't have harmed Zhang Mushan out of spite.

"In summary!"

Zhao Qian took a deep breath, looked at the judge's bench, and spoke in a stern tone, as if he were squeezing it out from between his teeth.

"The facts of the defendant Sun Hu's crime are clear."

"Clearly violated Article 305 of the Criminal Law: 'Perjury,' 'Harboring or Concealing a Criminal,' 'Intentional Homicide,' 'Intentional Injury,' etc."

"The facts of this case are true and the evidence is conclusive. We request the judge to adjudicate the case in accordance with the law."

The indictment has been read aloud.

After everyone had digested the information...

Presiding Judge Zhao De then turned to the defendant's dock and said in a deep voice:

"The defendant."

"Regarding the aforementioned charges brought against the defendant by the prosecution, does your side... have any objections??"

objection?

The moment those two words fell.

Throughout the courtroom, everyone's thoughts were suddenly pulled back, and all eyes were focused on Yan Mi in the defendant's seat.

Feeling the overwhelming gaze.

The lawyer took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"Your Honor, we...have an objection!"

Presiding Judge Zhao Dedao: "Please speak."

Yan Mi paused, pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned his gaze to the agent's seat, his eyes narrowing, and said:

"In this case, both the prosecution's indictment and the victim's legal representative... contain a clear procedural violation!"

A procedural violation?

Xu De paused for a moment, but did not interrupt the other party. He just narrowed his eyes at the other party.

On the judge's bench, Judge Zhao Dedao said:

"Continue, where did you violate the rules?"

Yan Mi said, "According to Article 29 of the Criminal Procedure Law, judges, prosecutors, and investigators who have served as witnesses in this case shall recuse themselves."

"According to our investigation, the key evidence in this case was uncovered by the victim's lawyer."

"From a judicial practice perspective, their representative should be a 'witness'!"

"Based on the aforementioned provisions and Article 37 of the Criminal Procedure Law, the agent...clearly violated regulations by acting as the victim's lawyer in civil litigation!"

Violation of regulations?

The moment the words were spoken.

The entire First Courtroom was in an uproar.

Presiding Judge Zhao De narrowed his eyes and said again:

Is there any supporting evidence?

Yan Mi paused, then his eyes narrowed, he took a deep breath, and said:

"We have clear evidence!"

"We urge the presiding judge to revoke the victim's legal representative's status, remove them from the courtroom, and impose appropriate punishment according to the law!"
